"Medieval viewers understood Christ's body as both male and female," said Melanie Holcomb and Nancy Thebaut, the curators behind " Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages," a delightfully corporeal medieval art exhibition now on view at the Met Cloisters in New York. "In addition to being the son of God, he was also frequently described as a mother, and his wound was often likened to a lactating breast that could be a source of spiritual nourishment for others."
Last month, Andrea Lucas, the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, posted a video to X asking an unusual question: "Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?" she says to the camera. "The EEOC is committed to identifying, attacking, and eliminating all forms of race and sex discrimination - including against white male applicants and employees."
